How to enable the Select Monitor Zone dialog in Alarm Monitoring

Procedure Steps

By default, when more than one Monitor Zone is defined in System Administration, a drop-down is presented to the user upon logging in to select the Monitor Zone. Beneath the drop-down are two check boxes:

a) Save as monitoring station assignment - will log into selected Monitor Zone regardless of user

b) Save as user assignment - user will log in to selected Monitor Zone regardless of workstation

If either of the two check boxes is selected when the user selects [OK], that option will be assigned and the Select Monitor Zone dialog will not appear. These two options can also be set in System Administration.

If the Select Monitor Zone dialog does not prompt a user when logging in to Alarm Monitoring, follow the steps below to enable it.

1) Start System Administration.

2) From the Administration menu, select Users.

3) On the Users form, select the user and then click [Modify].

4) On the Monitor Zone Assignments sub-tab, ensure that none of the Monitor Zones are selected.

5) Click [OK] to save the settings.

6) From the Monitoring menu, select Monitor Zones.

7) On the Monitor Stations form, select the affected workstation. Click [Delete], then click [OK] to confirm the deletion.

The Select Monitor Zone dialog should now prompt the user when logging in to Alarm Monitoring.
